Homeschooling & ADD, Giftedness,
and
General
Educational Resources
We are neither particularly religious nor
politically conservative. Many of the relevant links, however, emphasize a
particular religion and/or have a politically conservative viewpoint. The
variety of beliefs represented simply highlights the diverse conditions under
which ADD/Aspergers and homeschooling are a good match. Even though we do not
agree with everything contained in these links, we wanted to provide examples
of a wide range of experiences that basically emphasized that homeschooling is
an effective strategy, especially with children who have learning and
behavioral issues. In addition, we also increasingly came to recognize a great
deal of overlap of these characteristics with and giftedness.
